Both parties made proposals regarding the route of the march, and it was ultimately agreed that the caucus would proceed with the proposed route.
The protest is expected to be joined by thousands of Ghanaians and is aimed at expressing dissatisfaction with the alleged corrupt activities that have affected the people of Ghana. The meeting between the minority caucus and the police took place on 22 August 2023, following an official notice sent to the Ghana Police Service informing them of the planned demonstration.
The Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson said the march will be joined by CSOs, progressive forces and other well-meaning Ghanaians.
“The purpose of this protest is to express our revulsion at the illegal printing of money (about GHS80 billion) between 2021 and 2022 by the BoG for the corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government which led to a hyperinflation rate of 54.1 per cent in December 2022”, Dr. Ato Forson said.
“This singular act of BoG”, he emphasised, “has negatively impacted livelihoods and businesses and pushed about 850,000 Ghanaians into poverty in the year 2022 alone”.
The march is schedule to start from parliament from 8am and end 6pm at the Bank of Ghana
